Sounds like you've had a lovely summer, and knowing that you'll have time to write come September means your break is even more acceptable.

Since Hubs & I are retired, we often take unexpected short trips. He says "Let's go up to xxx" and even though I should write, he needs some of my time, too.

I've never regretted it. I often think of writers that I adore - like Mordecai Richler - big family, lots going on - how did he do it? He had a wife. I don't. I have a very supportive fella but I make different choices for my art than people like Richler. It will have to do.

I think taking a break to connect with the real world, and those we love, is good for the writing muse.
